What a day to suffer the stupid policies of the AFL and Big Pond (or is that Bog Pond?). Living in Thailand, I've suffered long enough, not being able to view videos on line because of AFL/Big Pond copyright restrictions on any online viewing outside Oz.

Now they've extended this ban to radio broadcasts as well !!!

Now I'll have to wait until someone puts up some highlights and the theme song on You Tube!!!

Stick that up you Bg POnd!

Wow!! I just looked up the scores, is that correct or are the philippines Beers playing tricks on me!!!

Maybe last weeks effort has finally sunk in. 4 Quarter efforts Demons, at either the MCG or on the road.

See what the Results bring you....Now have a late run for the finals-it is possible.

How is the Big Jimma's Health?? He would be smiling today.

Yep, pack of absolute pricks at the afl. They want to grow the game overseas but you cant watch or listen to it outside of australia....

And you couldnt even pay to watch this game online at omnisport.tv.

Telstra are the worst phone company on the planet-The Clubs should be able to stream their own games independantly, i hope it happens one day-The AFL just have no idea about people travelling overseas.

Try living overseas!

The AFL have no idea about what to do on the net, and then how to implement it. Go back 10 years and they're just like the record companies were re music downloads. The ridiculous thing is that the longer they fail to grasp the nettle, the more opportunities it opens for others.

Awesome news. I hope we had a good turn out in the crowd-Sounds like Jack Watts is starting to come to terms with his AFL abilities. KEEP GOING JACK.

I have lived outside Australia for 16 years - Thailand for the past 10. I keep up my membership and as soon as my salary comes this month, I will contribute to the Debt Demolition.

I don't blame Melbourne for this dumb down. It is short sighted thinking from the "wizz kids" at AFL and Big Pond.

Today was even worse, because the Australia Network (ABC satellite TV) had the Doggies v Freo. We had a good run from them earlier in the year, but not on much lately.

Surely someone must be able to understand, if they want to expand the game outside Oz (as we should), they should get out of their small island mindset

Perhaps Jimma and the rest of the club can start the ball rolling for fans EVERYWHERE - not just in the "little pond'...Big Pond ...what a name - full of water hahaha!!

I listened to the game on the AFL Site and I'm in Europe at the moment. I couldn't get it at first and my son sent me a text telling me to re boot I did and it worked after that I'm still listening to the summary.

I do live overseas. I work in the music biz too - used to be called the "record" biz - so I know what you mean and agree entirely.

Their small minded attitude will open up opportunities for others - eventually.

I wouldn't even mind paying for LIVE streaming - well at least a realistic fee - not this whimpy replay for a stupid price and days after the event.

Things would've gotten really serious had Carlton lost last night - would've been just 1.5 games out of the top 8. But not to be.

The win alone 'wins' us respect and we should set a goal of winning 3 of the last 5 games. We can start thinking about finals next year IMO.

Yes i love watching the Australia network, as an ABC employee it makes me very proud. But yes the Dogs & the Shockers did not inspire me, as was last night Geelong v Brisbane!! I went out.

I was able to listen via the AFL site earlier in the year. But the past few weeks - nothing.

I also tried direct via 3AW & MMM same issue.

I hope your son is right - I would have done anything to be able to listen today...well nearly anything !

Australia Network is a great service to all us overseas Australians. It also provides a good service for anyone wanting insights into the country and what Australians think about things like the recent turmoil here in Thailand.

I only hope when the next round of bargaining for AFL rights comes up, it is able to do maintain the rights for footy.

Australia Network is a compilation of all the Australian Networks, with the ABC being the Main Source, so i think the AFL & NRL coverage is safe overseas. It may be a requirement by law-as a service to ex pats. I will ask when i get back home next month.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
